Attaching images to post

  • I’m having major issues attaching images to posts as ‘main images’ and as ‘featured images’.

    I can upload to the media library but when I click ‘insert into post’ it doesn’t, it just reverts back to the text box in the editor.

    I thought it was just my wordpress but I write for another site and the same is happening there too.

    Anyone any ideas what the issue is please?

    I’m assuming it’s something to do with my computer settings rather than the wordpress theme/version as they are different for the two sites I write on. I’m running Chrome if that helps at all.

    Thanks in advance.

  • What happens when you disable all plugins and revert to the twentyfourteen
    theme?

    Hi Kmessinger, thanks for reply.

    I don’t have the capacity to do that on the other site I write for. It seems strange that it’s happening on two different wordpress’ with different themes, different plugins and different versions of WP.

    Is doing that likely to make a difference given it’s more than my own website?

    Try another browser.

    No joy, I’m afraid and unfortunately, it’s not just images, it’s all media. Images will upload to the media library but not into the editor.

    I’ve just tried to embed a You Tube video with no luck.

    I’ve no idea what to try next. ??

    I think I upgraded Adobe Flash Player the day before yesterday – this started to happen yesterday….could this be the problem?

    Probably not. So deactivate ALL plugins and switch to the default theme. What’s the site in question?

    I thought Twenty Eleven was the default theme (I couldn’t find a Twenty Fourteen theme in the directory) – I have tried that and deactivated ALL plugins but I still cannot transfer any media from the media library to my posts.

    I have also tried uploading media from the URL and that will not work either.

    I’m not sure it’s a wordpress issue as it’s happening on two different wordpress sites. I think there’s something on my computer preventing me from attaching media to my wordpress – I’ve just no idea what! It’s driving me mad!

    I had installed free Avast internet/virus protection. I have uninstalled that now but still no difference.

    I had also updated Adobe but other than that there is no change to anything – I’m confused.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

    Have you tried on another computer and/or another browser?

    Have you checked the file permissions?
